Very cool!!Grin

Fabulous - Twigs! I heart SW.

The morning I found out I was pregnant with Miss S, I switched on the radio and 'Isn't She Lovely' was playing. He wrote it for his baby daughter and I said to Mr S "It's a sign - we're having a girl..." and the rest, as they say, is history! Grin

It's been one of DD's special songs ever since - we play it every year on her birthday.

Now, I don't much care for that, but then, it doesn't have any great significance for me. My mother (without my knowledge) got the DJ to play I Just Called To Say I Love You as the second dance at our wedding, and I don't like that one either. ::ungrateful:: Apart from those two, the man is (in my eyes) A God.

Oh Spiro, that is so sweet!!

Maud, I am with you, I detest I Just Called to Vomit Say I Love You.

RP, I will PM you as 'twill out me even more than I already am :)

Hello, dear friends. I had been out all day and the fresh air must have gone to my head, because I fell asleep on the sofa the minute dinner was burned cooked and served.

Now if we had something like Strictly to watch, I might have been able to stay awake!

I am trying to decide if RP still counts as an outside broadcast, as she is in her childhood home.

And Maud, I am so glad your toe is a bit better.

DumSpiroScaro · 22/10/2011 21:51

Another one who can't stand IJCTSILY. A major blot on an otherwise fairly unblemished copybook.

is great though!

I must admit my fascination stems from following a local band with a sexy as hell not altogether unattractive lead singer in my teens that used to sing some of his stuff!

GrinSpiro! I read that as that you found out this morning you were pregnant!!Grin thought you were telling us very calmly!!Grin

SupermenacingLBD · 22/10/2011 21:52

So what is the thinking on Yesteryou, yesterme yesterday ?

DumSpiroScaro · 22/10/2011 21:55

Oh Spiro, that is so sweet!!

I've always wondered if I fell pregnant again would something similar happen - Grin

Highly unlikely to find out anyway!

DD's other song is which I heard on Radio 2 (!) on the way to work when I was about 5 months pg. I drove the whole way there with tears pouring down my face and went straight home that night and ordered it from Amazon.

Vampy - Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Oh yeaaaahhhh, baby! That is my favourite Stevie Wonder song, but there's something about the intro to Superstition that just makes me want to dance.

::throws slightly lop-sided shapes, as one foot is not working properly::

And please let nobody mention Ebony and Ivory

I think I'm going to need the therapeutic foot rub for a loooong time, Massive.

::Swoons decorously on chaise longoo::

Twiggy - I too would like to know who else you worked for, as I thought you had spent all your time as a handmaiden of Sir T.

TransylvanianVampiress · 22/10/2011 21:57

Massive - I'm now in another country to normal so still definitely on an adventure still!Smile

Have to agree the LCTSILY is a bit sacchariny (if that's a real word!Hmm)

SupermenacingLBD · 22/10/2011 22:04

I am so knackered I can't think of any more SW songs to comment on. Do excuse me if my posts are even more drivel-tastic than usual

DumSpiroScaro · 22/10/2011 22:06

I knew what that would be before I opened it Maud (although was thinking Culture Club)!

Great minds think alike! Grin

ComeIntoTheSinisterGardenMaud · 22/10/2011 22:08

No need to talk, Massive. Just dance!

::Boogies on down::

DumSpiroScaro · 22/10/2011 22:09

Am watching 'Get Carter' - is that the one when she's hung from a tree and Gizzy rescues her at last?

I think Andrew Lawton in Sparkhouse is definitely a descendent of the PLF.

ComeIntoTheSinisterGardenMaud · 22/10/2011 22:10

Oooh, Spiro, I saw Culture Club live, you know.

::Old groover emoticon::

ComeIntoTheSinisterGardenMaud · 22/10/2011 22:11

DJ Maudie is in da house .

DumSpiroScaro · 22/10/2011 22:12

I've been reading a fanfic with that song in it today Maud!

Thinking of Seventies/discoesque tracks - I heard reworking of a Sister Sledge number today - just stunning (imho).

OP posts:
SupermenacingLBD · 22/10/2011 22:13

I am too knackered to dance, though, Maud.

I shall just sit here in wallflowers' corner for a bit and watch your lot dance round your handbags.

ComeIntoTheSinisterGardenMaud · 22/10/2011 22:16

::whispers::

But we're just pretending, Massive. It's all just pretending. I'm not really lying here on a chaise longoo while Mr Thornton rubs unguents into my pearly white limbs more's the pity.

ComeIntoTheSinisterGardenMaud · 22/10/2011 22:26

Wow, Spiro. Paul Weller does Sister Sledge. It's beautiful and yet somehow surreal.

::Wanders off to YT to in search of Bob Dylan does Boney M::

DumSpiroScaro · 22/10/2011 22:27

Come on now Maud - there's a rather large, leather clad gentleman on a horse who just won't take no for an answer.

OP posts:
DumSpiroScaro · 22/10/2011 22:28

Sorry - that should have been Massive - was disRActed by Gizzy doing his thing on the telly Blush Grin!
